Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb are the protagonists of the Dallas Cowboys offense, but a moment during Sunday Night Football got the attention of the fans. Lamb was seen saying something to his quarterback after a throw, leading to speculation about what was said.

Some fans spoke about Lamb telling Prescott about what kind of throw he wanted - which is the more rational take. Others speculated about the wide receiver criticizing the pass from the quarterback - which is more in line with what NFL fans really want to see. Nevertheless, it will be unclear until one of them clears it up:

This season, the pair seems to be a bit off their regular pace after an offseason of distractions, as both looked for new deals with the franchise. The difference, obviously, was that the quarterback was present at camp, while the receiver decided to skip it. It's making a difference.

Lamb, Cowboys: a deal done and a crisis averted

This was one of those contract controversies where everyone knew how it was going to end. CeeDee Lamb's case was pretty straightforward: everyone knew he was going to need to be paid, he knew how much he was worth, and the Cowboys knew how important he was. There was no need for trade rumors, discussions about the player's importance, or any other fuss.

Lamb didn't show up for training camp, but he (and Brandon Aiyuk, too, although he reported it) knew that this was an effective method of applying pressure. Since he was still on his rookie contract, the fines for days he didn't show up aren't mandatory, going back to that classic case from last decade where the team pretended to fine a player and then rescinded the punishment when the situation was resolved.

With an average of $34 million, Lamb outperforms everyone not named Justin Jefferson from the same draft class and established as the best wide receiver in the league. It's a pretty fair amount and one that Dallas knew it would have to pay.
